N55 VRSF install help

Well. This install has turned into a massive pain in the ass.

I'm trying to install the VRSF Downpipe (N55EX100) and I'm struggling to get it to fit. The upstream O2 sensor cable appears to be too short to get the downpipe into the position it needs to be in. The bung looks like it's rotated 90* further away from the harness than factory, which seems like an issue.

Any help or advice from anyone who has installed one of these?

Thanks in advance.

Ended up pulling a bunch of intake parts to get to the O2 cable run. Moved it around to make some slack. Bolted up. Crisis averted.

Next time remove the intake parts first and disconnect the 02 sensors before removing the dp. Makes it so much easier.
